Btrfs makes it really easy to enlarge a partition. You don’t even have to reboot.

I was trying to fix an old Dell Digital Jukebox and was saved by a random internet comment with a link to the firmware files the commenter had dug up. There’s this concept called net utility - that dude definitely increased the net utility in the world, even if infitesimally

Joke’s on them, mine hasn’t been connected since about 2018. Works very well as just a thermostat

Agree, backblaze has been great

Seriously everyone pushes Immich so hard I’m a little suspicious of it now :D
- Comment on YouTube is taking down videos on performing nonstandard Windows 11 installs 2 weeks ago:
Yeah i guess the hardware is the variable factor. My stuff is pretty old, so maybe it is better-supported.

Ive got a 1070 and the nvidia drivers work fine. They are pretty good about updating along with Tumbleweed updates. Other stuff around is Intel.
- Comment on YouTube is taking down videos on performing nonstandard Windows 11 installs 2 weeks ago:
I seriously can’t imagine what could be going on here. I’ve got opensuse, debian, and mint in the household for non-savvy people and it all just works. I have a rare problem with a Tumbleweed update, like twice a year. Printing, wifi, everything. It is way more stable than my Enterprise-managed Windows 11 machine. So I am seriously curious what problems people are having.

If you want a package, look to your distro’s package manager. There isn’t a mirror for nextcloud binaries.

I’m running OpenSuse Tumbleweed. Works great.
- Comment on Selfhosting Sunday! What's up? 3 weeks ago:
Updated to OpenSuSE Leap 16.0 with the autotool and it broke some things, but nothing terrible. Had to fix network config and add back Packman for ffmpeg for Jellyfin to work but that was about it

Using it right meow. Didn’t even know this was happening till I saw this post.
- Comment on They say word-of-mouth marketing is the most effective form of marketing. What games did you (not) enjoy that came well-recommended by friends to you, and why did they recommend it to you? 3 weeks ago:
Oh sure. By all means play what you enjoy. Just wasnt what I enjoy.

I enjoyed it but the character arc resolutions were extremely rushed.

Nah I liked it too. It took some getting used to but it is strategic and it really gets absorbing.

Undertale was zero fun. Interesting story and I liked the graphics and music but the combat got extremely annoying, and I say this as someone who plays 8 bit (heck even 4 bit) combat games. I quit it.
- Comment on Great games you would recommend from before 1990? 4 weeks ago:
Star Flight. Really a must-play, and get the run speed down low so you have some suffering on the long trips. Then you get really excited to find a wormhole.

Yeah guess what happens when access starts to be app-only?

Is it? I just had a basic $5 a month machine so didn’t look too hard at it.

Vultr has been pretty good.

Easy to check. Get a ground/polarization tester and that will tell you much just by plugging it in.
- Comment on Ideas 1 month ago:
Massive data storage streaming and backup and game servers. Disk space and CPU and bandwidth for that in the cloud would be…a lot. A lot a lot, vs a $150 rack server off EBay and a pile of used SAS drives.
Power is pretty cheap here though. All my machines run at about 150-250 watts total, that can add up if your costs are high.

Ive got the original box, CD and docs. I should break it out and see if it runs on dosbox. As I recall they used some Bakshi clips in it.

Not too bad with LyX. Get templates and modify them. It is a learning curve but entirely doable.

Yeah I got through school and could work just fine now with Calc. I’m sure it breaks when you get fancy but not that many people get that fancy.
